  Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Fallout T-41 Helmet (My Mini Factory) in the group Digital Humanities: 22 hours, 8 minutes ago

  We used the Winter break to build this full sized PowerPoint helmet from Fallout. We get a lot of cosplay projects coming through the lab, it’ll be cool to be able to show an example of a big long term project. This piece is full sized, wearable (with goggles and foam inside) and composed of 42 individual 3D printed pieces.

  We got the file on…[Read more]

  Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Poster-Sized 3D Map in the group Digital Humanities: 3 days, 20 hours ago

  Using Terrain2STL to create this huge 3d terrain map of the American West. We used a program called meshmixxer to cut the model up into 20 smaller tiles and print them all out seperately. The plan is to use this for data viz, mapping a projector to the terrain and projecting GIS animations over the white. I used a liquid resin for the ocean, one…[Read more]

  Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Casting Clear Warren Bears in the group Digital Humanities: 3 days, 20 hours ago

  I cast these bears from a 3D print. Calit2’s Drone Lab was nice enough to give me the model. The reclining bear was a mistake, but he’s turned out to be my favorite. Cast in smooth-on 360. The first is before polishing, the 2nd is after (took me days). They’re still full of tiny bubbles, and will be until I buy a “degassing chamber”.

  Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post 3D Fluid Animations in Blender in the group Digital Humanities: 3 days, 21 hours ago

  We’ve been playing with Blender’s fluid simulations this last week. The process is surprisingly straightforward, but can require a LOT of time to calculate if it’s too high resolution. We’ll be trying to run some ultra-high versions this summer. Hopefully we’ll be able to tool these simulations for  research purposes.

  Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Coral Models – VR and 3D printing in the group Digital Humanities: 3 days, 21 hours ago

  SIO’s Sandin Lab wanted to display some of their models physically. Using Agisoft they were able to stitch a bunch of images into a really cool looking model. We were able to view it in VR and 3D print it to help give them some idea of how they might share the data in an exhibit.

  Check out the full model here.

  Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Electric Violin – 3D Printed in the group Digital Humanities: 3 days, 21 hours ago

  It took forever! One of our regulars Spence wanted to make an electric violin for his girlfriend, he found these plans on thingiverse. We’d hoped she could play it quietly with headphones on, but it’s pretty loud before it even gets to the pre-amp.

  Come check it out in the lab! It’s ready to play.
